The Bible states a Who's Who of the New Testament concerning who was in the Upper Room, it also States that Mary (Jesus Mother) was there and ALL his brethern (His Family) but not Joseph...where was Joseph?

Had he passed away?
Were he and Mary separated at the time?
Does anybody have any historical info on this??
I think he was dead. He was already an old man. Men married late in age and married young maidens (virgins) anywhere from age 14-16 or so.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
No doubt he had died. Thats why Jesus, while on the cross, said to his mother Mary, "woman behold thy son" speaking of John. John was to take her in and take care of her.
